A mini-guide to food in Oakland

Over the past few months, I’ve talked with several people wanting to find information about Oakland food.

Among those interested were a new colleague intrigued about food policy and urban agriculture, a college friend new to Oakland (who didn’t know about some great local restaurants) and a few other folks. This made me think it would be useful to write a quick links guide to where I look to, to learn about food in Oakland.

This is not a comprehensive guide, but more of a starting point to connect with the wonderful community of people talking, growing and enjoying food in our city.

I hope readers will comment and add to the discussion. My goal is to update this guide on occasion, with additional recommendations and resources and to have a good place to send people who want to get connected.
